Topics discussed in this show:

• How the price of gold moves higher as the U.S. national debt ceiling moves higher. (The lid on the national debt was raised an astonishing 7 times in the Bush years and twice during Obama’s first year. And another debt ceiling hike is right around the corner!)• How the short frenzy of bailouts, stimulus spending and government guarantees, quickly grew to more than the entire U.S. federal debt! (And why they lit the fuse for The Dollar Meltdown!)• Why Federal Reserve chairmen Greenspan and Bernanke failed to foresee the growing financial crisis – even as they added fuel to its fires! (And why the more-of-the-same policies spell an even bigger calamity than the one we’re living through!)• How the visible national debt of $12 trillion is dwarfed by America’s real, but hidden, national debt of almost $100 trillion! (Like an iceberg, most of the nation’s debt is hidden from view. And like the Titanic, the ship of state can’t be turned in time to avoid a financial collision.)• What your share of the hidden national debt is: For a family of four it’s about $1.3 million. (Since America’s median household income is only $50,000, you see why there is no prospect of the debt ever being paid.)

Pt 1 - Moral Capitalism: Defining capitalism and morality
Use the arrow to expand or collapse this section
For over three years, I have shared the essence of hundreds of people from all walks of life, in industry, health care, sciences, philosophy, theology, and beyond. Every one of those thought leaders has shared the same message in their own way. Humanity has reached a tipping point: a point where change will continue to accelerate, a time where the world is interconnected and interdependent and air, water and energy know not of artificial boundaries established by men; a time where the massive changes will last well into 2020; and the only solution is to throw out all previously held axioms and beliefs that inhibit our progess. Hence, the quote from Dr. Covey's book, the Eight Habit, summarizes this point nicely by saying, "The call of this new era in human history is for greatness; it's for fulfillment, passion, execution and significant contribution."
Questions discussed in this inteview: What is the new world order? Why is the world operating on a broken, outdated map? What is moral authority? How does a corporation define it's purpose in the 21st century? Does a family need a mission statement?

At some point in our lives we inevitably face the essential questions of life and living: who am I, what relationships matter most and what is most important to me in life? During this show, JD interviews Jonathan Ellerby, Spiritual Program Director at Canyon Ranch, and author of Return to the Sacred, by Hay House. JD and Jonathan discuss the essence of spirituality and religion, sacredness and happiness and the simple steps we can all take to help us get unstuck in moments of crisis or despair. Jonathan explains the process of spirituality, the essence of life that is innate to all of us, and how it differs from religion and can improve our vitality, resilience and health. JD's favorite quote from Jonathan, "All feelings want is to be felt". How profound and yet so simple. So what do we do about helping those feelings?

Pt 2- Return to the Sacred: What is spirituality, how can it improve our health & vitality and how does it differ from religion?

December 17th - Tea Party Patriots Use the arrow to expand or collapse this section
JD interviews Debbie Dooley , the National Coordinator of the Tea Party Patriots , whose mission is to restore fiscal responsibility, limited government and free markets. As Debbie said to JD, "The government that governs best, governs least." As every economist will tell you, raising taxes stagnates economic growth and there is no government on the planet that is as efficient as free markets. So why are we raising taxes to increase the size of the government? As we read in the papers or hear in the news, nations around the world are struggling with national debts that are over 80 percent of national gross domestic product. Ladies and gentlemen, the world is insolvent and it is time to restore fiscal responsibility.
Pt 1 Tea Party Patriots - What is the national situation? Who is Debbie Dooley and how and why is she involved?
December 10th - Breaking My Neck and Discovering Life Use the arrow to expand or collapse this section
"The Axe Murderer has arrived and he is trying to split me in half with a six-inch blade. As he slices between my shoulders the pain is so excruciating it is beyond words. I let out a blood-curdling scream, he swings again, and again and the screams are piercing my ears. I stagger out of the bathroom screaming and reaching my arms over my head trying to pull the axe out. I am unaware of my wife who has come running to my rescue. By now the screaming is existential, I am out of my body, someone else is writhing and screaming, not me..." So goes part of the story of what it was like to break my neck. Listen to this show and here the valuable lessons I learned and how they apply to you in your life.
